Someone wants to know what your favourite choice of MTA is. I'm well aware that Mercury is in the definite minority, but I'm pleased to see that it's explicitly represented in the survey. Perhaps you can add your voices and give a genuine figure on Mercury usage; it seemed a post here (someone please advise the mailing list, too) would provide an opportunity for those not already aware of this. The URL is:

I can't be surprised that Postfix is taking the beauty spot nowadays. Two years back it was definitely Sendmail; nowadays Postfix is pretty much all there, copycat as it is; fast, flexible and secure. But, for sure, Sendmail is still my top choice of power MTA when a Unix-like OS is available. Mercury is the best I can find for Windows-only or Windows-majority situations. I would sooner use Mercury on Windows than try to convert an existing Exchange into a usable MTA, either by proxy, modification or fronting using a Unix mailer if clients are all ready to go on Windows direct to an all-in-one piece-of-cake mailer like Mercury. (If there's any doubt, that's no insult, David, in case you read this. Mercury rocks and is NEEDED.)
Cheers,
